Club Quotations | Page 6

I want to thank Samuel Caballero for his professionalism and his time with the club in 2005. He was a great influence on our young defenders last season and I wish him much success with his new opportunity.

I want to win a lot more trophies with the club, I want to get them back into the Champions League and I want to stay here for as long as possible. This is a club I have supported since I was a young boy and I don't want to leave.

I will deal with any breach of club discipline with a heavy hand... I have left all the players in no doubt that there must be no repeat.

I went with one less club (an 8-iron). Luckily, it was enough to carry. Still, I almost went over the green. Lucky I made par.

I will see how my hip is bearing up in the summer. It is important to be fair to myself and the club if it is affecting me.

I think the whole key to Craig is similar to Curtis. He grew up with a golf club in his hand and learned at an early age how to play the game. He's been a consistent ball striker for us for four years. His senior year he finally grew into his body. He's one of those young pups that just pounds the ball which is why I didn't bet him on the side.

It is a tremendous honor to have signed for a club of Celtic's stature. I was fortunate enough to have a number of options, however, when Celtic made their interest known, this was where I wanted to play.

It is a very serious problem. We have told the authorities we cannot do anything in their domestic league matches but we will not allow it in our Uefa club competitions.

It is a sacred ground for golf. I was really taken in by the history of the club going back to Bobby Jones.

It is an honor for me to be here, ... I hope I can repay the trust this club has placed in me.

I think there will be a lot of people interested in the job. Hearts are a fantastic club with a great support and an owner who wants success and there is nothing wrong with that.

I think there is a real need in the state of Colorado for a ski club that, actually, everybody involved skis. I don't mean to (call out) any other clubs, but I've been to some other club meetings where a lot of people at the meeting didn't even ski or ride. Although we have that social aspect, we are about the skiing and riding.

I think there's a real bond among us club pros or amateurs who come out and play against people we've been watching for their whole careers. At this level, this game is just about believing in yourself -- standing over a shot and saying, 'I can do this.

Just good solid golf all day. I drove the ball well, hit the middle of the club face a lot of times...and here we are.

Just being around the best players in the world is an experience that most club professionals don't normally have. It's a treat for all of us.

Jeremy was back at the club on Sunday night after being taken to the Burnie Hospital and the prognosis is very good.

Jeremy brings a physical dimension to our hockey club and will fit in nicely with our team. He is a gritty player that has some valuable NHL experience, both in the regular season and the playoffs, and we are happy to have him.

Jason Boyd was a guy I loved watching on Mark's Ohio Valley club last season. He played the game hard, and he played the game right. I look forward to that style of play that he'll bring to the Wild Things' fans.

Jeff is worthy of this for a lot of reasons, ... He has the maturity, the talent, the experience, the leadership. But he has a neat perspective of this club that not many people with this club, or any club would have about their team.

Last year (2004) we took a big step by winning in the playoffs for the first time. This year was another huge step. We've got a taste of it now. Now it's the same old story, try to keep your club together and look forward to next year.

I saw it last year and they did, too. It's not secret that last year is going to happen again. How our big-league club is shaping up with a lot of rookies, they are going to keep their eyes on us and how they go about their business, how they perform.

I saw the club head at the top of Love's golf swing and you could almost do chin-ups on it.

I said 'Marc, I hope you prove me wrong,' ... And I know like Marc felt like he's still a starter in the league and I hope he can be. But again, it was a decision we felt like was in the best interest of the club and he knew that. We have to think team first.

Ironically, only ten months prior to this sentencing, Roscoe Tanner and I sat down for an interview at the beautiful La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in Southern California. This is the last public interview given by Roscoe Tanner. From an editorial perspective, this interview is something we at RadioTennis.com are quite proud of. Only Sports Illustrated Magazine, Tennis Week Magazine and RadioTennis.com have attempted to document the life and times of this former athlete. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons, this interview continues to gain international interest.

People always think I have to manage a high-revenue, star-studded club because I had a couple of them, but I came from player development and scouting, ... Somebody, of course, would have to be interested in me, and we'd have to match up right. It's never been a situation for me where it has to be one of five clubs. If you have a passion for the game, you have a passion for the game.

People always ask me what the difference is between last year's club and this year's and this year's we have other people that can step up. We are a little more patient on offense and we can get other people the ball a little bit better.

Our kids got a taste of Albuquerque and what facing a veteran triple-A club is like.

Our guys really battled today and I am very proud of them. We swung the bats a lot better and played well defensively. This was a good win over a very good ball club and hopefully it will be a catalyst for out team.

Over a sustained period of time Michael hasn't achieved those standards and therefore his option now is to show us that he's committed to this team and its vision by doing that through Claremont Football Club because he hasn't been able to do that at this football club.

Over the years The Stand have been great about giving me stage time if I need to run new material. The audience is always a great mix of attentive and loud and lively: you get that good listening quality that any good comedy club should have.

Our primary focus is to get the social club up and running and we're hoping by the end of March we will get the final tick from all the appropriate government departments.

Our pitching is getting better and our defense is getting better and, hopefully, our offense is making strides. We're managing to score runs when we need to. I still think potentially we can be a pretty good club offensively. We've just got to get some guys going at the same time.

Our first couple of years we were really, really strong. We could have competed on the NCAA Division III level and even the Division II level. The past few years we've gone down a bit, even though by club standards we still had really good teams. But when we tried to sep up against some of the NCAA II, III and NAIA teams, we did not fare as well.

Our club members will be wearing their T-shirts, and children in grades three through seven will help out as ushers. Our 4- and 5-year-olds will be singing and two of the junior high girls will read Scripture. Additionally, a leader will share with the congregation what the clubs have been doing in the past year.

Our club has just continued to improve throughout the last month. ... I do think if we can come close to playing to our potential, there are some more things this team can do.

Our club covers a lot of women's issues.

Other than Sheffield United (whose bid Miller effectively rejected), we've not had a phone call from any club about Kenny.

Right now, with St. Simons kids all coming to Glynn Academy, there's most of the soccer concentration over there. Until the city of Brunswick kind of catches up, we're going to have a little bit of an edge on them. The fact is we have more club players (from) St. Simons, which is more of a hot-bed of soccer than, say, Brunswick is.

Roger's godfather was the president of our tennis club, and one day Roger came to the club to visit.

Rock has a great second opportunity but it was an opportunity that was created. We had a game plan but it wasn't an easy one. A lot of former champs don't want to fight in club venues for not a lot of money. But those four fights gave him the ability to realize that he is a winner. People were writing him off as a loser, but he learned how to win again.

Robinson is concerned about making the club more than anything else, and that's understandable. We encouraged him to play, but it's one of those things where we can't really endorse it. We understand that he's battling for a spot on our staff, and that's important for him.

pleased that the arbitrator has upheld the right of a club to suspend a player for conduct detrimental to the club.

Pieter was a tremendous asset when I played with him previously. He has a great cricket brain and I know he will again fit in well with the rest of the team. His coaching experience will be particularly welcome to the many young talented players at the club now.

Pierre has done a fantastic job for the club and my recommendation is that we keep him.

Physically as well as mentally and tactically we are perfectly prepared to win the two games that will bring us the title. It is so important to this club to win this tournament.

Playing Hunt goes way back. They have a young club like we do, and it was a good battle. I was pleased that, this time, we got the win.

Playing here is a dream come true. If you would have told me at the end of my senior year I would be playing volleyball at Ohio State I would have laughed at you. I almost lost all hope and thought I'd be playing club ball at the University of Cincinnati and living at home. I consider myself very, very lucky to be able to play here.

Players have absolutely nothing to do with ticket prices. We had nothing to do with the recent decision to charge for Web broadcasts. These are management decisions, which management makes based on what each club or central baseball determines is the economic condition of the country and each market.

Recreational interests of our members was not sufficient to give us a claim to be able to contest the permit. However, one of the three state environment commissioners disagreed with the majority and indeed felt that Sierra Club should have standing. So, we think we have a pretty strong case to argue that because of the recreational interests of our members in Sam Rayburn.

Regarding the lack of atmosphere a Premiership grounds, it is staggering that this comes as a surprise to anyone. What do you expect when a ticket costs an average seven minimum wage working hours, or one day's work? When only lawyers and bank managers can reasonably afford to attend matches do not expect the camaraderie of the working man's club in the stands

Real Madrid wants David to train with the club this week. We never expected David to be with us for the first game, and I understand and respect their view that they want him with them until the end of the Spanish season.

Real Madrid needs change and this is the right moment for me to leave the presidency. I am convinced this is the boost the club needs.

Our players have had the challenge of, like every other club in the country, to meet the physical challenges of travel and on many occasions, Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday games,

Our partnership with Just Marketing is so much more than just a name on the front of the shirts. It is clearly a huge boost to the club at this late stage of the season.

Our relationship with Sterling Bank & Trust has been active for many years. They have steadily increased their involvement with us and have shared in our successes. This naming rights agreement puts the Sterling name and brand identity on a club that will set the standard for luxurious, upscale hospitality in Detroit and, for that matter, all of professional sports. Sterling has made a substantial investment in our new addition and we are confident that they are going to receive a great return.

Our objective is to make it easy for our customers and members to understand their benefit and get their prescriptions filled. Although some new enrollees may not have received their plan enrollment cards, we want to reassure them that Wal-Mart and SAM'S CLUB pharmacists are ready to help them right away by using the information on their plan enrollment forms.

People keep dismissing tonight as unimportant; I don't and I know Steve doesn't. We have got to brush ourselves down and come out battling against United. We see it as important to the club to win these kind of games because they raise the spirit and right now we've got to say that one of our problems is confidence.

People made out I was very, very greedy and was asking for an extortionate amount of money. That was never the case. I asked to be put in line with the top earners at the club and I was not offered that option. I value myself a lot higher than what the club offered me. I think my performances on the pitch have proved that.

Sure, (the Padres) are going to be the underdog. But they have a good enough club to beat somebody, simply because in a best-of-five that No. 1 pitcher is going to pitch two games for you. That's very, very important. That's why one guy in the first series could make a big, big difference.

Stephen McCarthy is another great addition out of the Dallas Texans. While he has a quiet personality off the field, his impact on the field is what impressed me the most. He has great presence in the midfield by winning balls but also in dividing them. His club team is proven to be among the best in the country and in my mind he is a big reason for their success.

Stephen is as important to this club as any player. The talks to sign him up have been going well and we're not too far away.

Some of these club coaches are abusing these kids and asking impossible things from them. Coaches preach every game is important, but how can we expect a player to stay at that high level for all these games they are playing? They are getting fatigued and burning out.

Some of the younger guys have never been in a race like this. I've done it a couple of times. Does that mean I'm more capable of helping the club than they are? You never know. We have to wait and see how that pans out.

Someone dropped a bottle as I was ready to hit on No. 8 so I backed off the ball. I stepped back in, tried to be positive, hit it, and it came off the club just the way I wanted it to. But I'm as surprised as anybody it went in. You don't ever expect a tee shot to disappear into the hole.

That does not preclude a given club from going beyond that level, ... We believe it's time to get this spiraling payroll situation under some control. The idea is to stabilize.... We believe that in order to keep the game within reach of American baseball fan we have to do some payroll stabilization here.

My only concern was that he'd alienate himself from the rest of the club but I didn't see that happen.

Nashville is a boys' club of redneck conservative ideas. But they're ready to embrace gay people. I never felt for one second that someone was judging me. Some people are like, 'Oh, I love gay people' in that 'I have lots of black friends' kind of way. It's awkward, but you have to appreciate that they're trying.

Names don't win games. We have to go out and swing the bats more. You don't want to fall behind this club because their bullpen is pretty good.

My pay cut revolved a fair bit around staying at the club for another couple of years and the job did come up and was part of the deal but it's not to be now.

Lizzie plays club volleyball and Trent is an amazing writer. We're lucky our parents didn't stereotype us, so we could figure out who we are for ourselves.

Looking ahead we will be taking our time to appoint a successor for what will be another very important season for the club in 2006.

Matt has been a terrific young player for the club and he is just coming into the prime of his career.

Marcelo is a proven player in this league. His knowledge of our club and league, when combined with his ability, will give our midfield an added dimension.

Marvin has done a wonderful job for the football club on the field and off, and we want to reward his efforts and continue the relationship well into the future.

Liverpool are his dream club and he wanted to leave and rejoin them. If I refused him this opportunity of fulfilling his ambition it would not be good for him or Manchester City. We wish him well for the future and thank him for his efforts.

... like the health club model, after you pay your 30 bucks a month for 3 or 4 months and you only go once a week, you realize it's not worth it and you split. That's what will happen with Warcraft ,

I will use the next few days to speak to my club owner and attempt to resolve the situation.

I won't speak about the title. It would be a huge thing for the club if we made the Champions League.

I was thinking about that, trying to maybe work on a utility club the next couple of weeks to use it at Augusta.

I was the youngest guy in the union. At 14! A pianist around there who became my mentor for a little while, gave me my first night club job. I was 17 or so. My father asked the club owner to watch me so I didn't get into any wrong things, ladies and drink and this and that.

I was very steady today and confident in what I could do. I'm relaxed. I'm letting the club go. I'm not worried about where the ball is going.

I was very lucky because hanging out at a golf course was much better than being on the streets. Golf taught me a great deal. I grew up surrounded by people who were professionals - lawyers, doctors, engineers. Around them, I learned how to behave, speak, eat, dress. I had nothing at home. The club was my home.

I still have four to five good years at the top level, so I was very comfortable and confident to sign. I think I can give the club three very good years.

It doesn't change how I look at it. Regardless if I have the club made or not, it's not just making the team, it's staying in the big leagues. I want to be here the rest of my career.

It depends on who is playing. If you're playing a club that's used to the game it could be 4-6, 8-7. If it's a less experienced team it could be a wider margin. Historically the scores were 55-56. They haven't come up with any conclusion why.

I think Joe's thing is going to be he's going to be a very Type-A kind of guy that's going to have it all covered, ... He's going to be well prepared. As a player, especially as a starting pitcher, you want your club as a whole to always feel that this game is the most important game tonight. Not only in rhetoric, but also preparation.

I think members who do join feel good about what the service club does for the community.

I think it would be silly to not have a chat. He fits our criteria. He's just captained a grand final-winning side, he just won the Clive Churchill medal, he's been on a Kangaroo tour, he's a north Queenslander and he's played at our club before.

I think Manny is obviously a huge part of this club. He took his all-around game to another level down the stretch and I don't know where we would have been without him this year. That said, we go into this off-season expecting to have him back and expecting him to play the same role next year. Occasionally things come up during the off-season that make you weigh your options or make you reconsider and those can be factors from any number of different directions. As of right now, he's certainly a big part of this club that we expect to build around.

I think Kevin's critical to our baseball operations. Going into next season we're going to have as strong a baseball operations staff as any club in baseball, and it starts with Kevin.

I think Kevin's critical to our baseball operations, ... Going into next season we're going to have as strong a baseball operations staff as any club in baseball, and it starts with Kevin.

I think I will have Roy next season. He loves it at the club and I can't see him leaving. It's just fitness that counts. Fitness, speed, motivation -- if you've got that then fine.

It hasn't been a very pleasant few months at Real, but a lot of things have happened at the club that have contributed to that and now I'm very happy.

I thought he was very, very solid. He did tremendous and to get the goal I hope it's the first of many. He's got all the attributes to be a good centre-half. Since I've been at the club anything we've asked him to do he's coped with very well.

It is evident by the team's play in the second half of the season that this club is moving in the right direction,

I'm speechless. To work for a company like Disney that believes in community and came up with the idea and saying, 'We want to donate to the Boys and Girls Club of the Gulf Coast.' Knowing it's very important to many people here, my family included, since we helped start the one in the Pass. And a million and half dollars is gonna go a long way. It's a nice start, great start.

I'm still in awe about it. I look at the list and see the names on it. I have all the respect in the world for all the former major league players. Nowadays I think the art of the double is kind of gone, because everybody counts on the home run. But for me it's an exclusive club I can be a part of.

Mankind's yearning to engage in sports is older than recorded history, dating back to the time millions of years ago, when the first primitive man picked up a crude club and a round rock, tossed the rock into the air, and whomped the club into the sl

Mallory is one of Mississippi's best. She has had a lot of success at the high school and club level and we are looking for her to continue that at Ole Miss. She is a well-rounded player who possesses the technical and tactical abilities needed to compete at the next level, and we look for her to be successful right away.

Mansion will invest money in the English Premier League as we believe it will be a powerful tool to continue our successful international growth. We aim to reach agreement with a club in the coming months and look forward to working closely with a team that is passionate about building our brand around the world in an open partnership.
